Why this blog?

It is tragic that our leaders here in the US feel that saving the planet is too costly.

It is true that governments around the world are strapped for cash, but Europe is getting its act together anyway.

"Mother Nature is just chemistry, biology and physics. That's all she is. You cannot sweet-talk her. You cannot spin her. You cannot tell her that the oil companies say climate change is a hoax. No, Mother Nature is going to do whatever chemistry, biology and physics dictate"

"Mother Nature always bats last, and she always bats 1.000"

-Rob Watson

We will act or perish. I hope those dragging their feet learn before it's too late.
